Area and Perimeter of a Sector of a Circle

We will discuss the Area and perimeter of a sector of a circle

We know that

Area and Perimeter of a Sector of a Circle

Therefore,

Area of a sector of a circle = θ360 × Area of the circle = θ360 ∙ πr2

where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the sectorial angle.

Area and Perimeter of a Sector of a Circle

Also, we know that

Area of a Sector of a Circle

Therefore,

Arc MN = θ360 × Circumference of the circle = θ360 ∙ 2πr = πθr180

where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the sectorial angle.

Thus,

perimeter of a sector of a circle = (πθ180 ∙ r + 2r) = (πθ180 + 2)r

where r is the radius of the circle and θ° is the sectorial angle.


Problems on Area and Perimeter of a Sector of a Circle:

1. A plot of land is in the shape of a sector of a circle of radius 28 m. If the sectorial angle (central angle) is 60°, find the area and the perimeter of the plot. (Use π = 227.)

Solution:

Area of the plot = 60360 ×  πr2 [Since θ = 60]

                       = 16 ×  πr2

                       = 16 × 227 × 282 m2.

                       = 16 × 227 × 784 m2.

                       = 1724842 m2.

                       = 12323 m2.

                       = 41023 m2.

Perimeter of a Sector of a Circle


Perimeter of the plot = (πθ180 + 2)r

                              = (22760180 + 2) 28 m

                              = (2221 + 2) 28 m

                              = 6421 ∙ 28 m

                              = 179221 m

                              = 2563 m

                              = 8513 m.
